Objective
and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where applicable: Batteries are an important source of energy and one of the key
enablers for sustainable development, green mobility, clean energy and
climate neutrality. In order for the EU's product policies to contribute to
these objectives, it needs to be ensured that batteries marketed and sold in
the Union are sourced and manufactured in a sustainable manner. Articles 7
and 13 contribute to these objectives by ensuring that batteries are properly
labelled with respect to the sustainability requirements in the EU Batteries
